Product Information
Full details
The Nike Academy Team Backpack - 22L - Plaid is designed for athletes, particularly soccer players, who need an organized and comfortable way to transport their gear. Its key win is the comprehensive organization system with specialized compartments for essentials like a laptop, phone, ball, and even wet/dirty items. A potential caveat is its 22-liter capacity, which is ideal for daily training or match days but may be limiting for longer trips requiring more extensive gear.

Can I fit a laptop in this backpack?

Is this backpack waterproof?
The backpack includes a rain fly with Nike Storm-FIT technology, which resists wind and water to help keep your belongings dry in harsh weather conditions. It provides excellent rain protection but is not fully submersible or considered waterproof for prolonged submersion.
Does it have a special pocket for dirty clothes or shoes?

Is there a specific pocket for a football?
Yes, there is a large front pocket specifically designed to comfortably fit a football, making it easy to carry to and from training or matches.
What material is the backpack made from?
The backpack is constructed from 100% polyester, offering durability and easy care.
How do I clean the backpack?
For best results, spot clean the backpack with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Air dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry.
Troubleshooting
My gear inside the backpack gets damp during rain.
Ensure the integrated rain fly is fully deployed and securely covering the backpack when exposed to wet weather. Verify that all zippers are fully closed.
The shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or dig into my shoulders.
Adjust both shoulder straps evenly to distribute the weight across your back. Ensure the backpack sits snugly against your back, not hanging too low. Check if the bag is overloaded; remove non-essential items if necessary.
The wet/dry compartment smells even after emptying.
After each use, empty the compartment completely and wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow it to air dry thoroughly, preferably unzipped, before storing any new items. You can also use baking soda or activated charcoal packets to absorb lingering odors.
A football doesn't fit securely in the front pocket.
Confirm that you are using the dedicated large front pocket designed for a football. Ensure the ball is deflated slightly if it's a very tight fit, or check if the ball size exceeds standard football dimensions.
